Introduction to Nonwovens Technology provides unified and in-depth treatment of raw
materials, web formation, bonding and melt-extrusion technologies, including background information
on heat, heat transfer and polymer physics.
Covering proprietary technologies new or not widely known, Introduction to Nonwovens
Technology introduces the concept of integrative technologies to produce multi-functional products,
and is designed to work like a textbook or professional book, with hands-on problems and exercises.
The processing of nonwovens depends on a range of technologies, some adapted from the textile
and paper industries, others developed uniquely for nonwovens production. Introduction to Nonwovens
Technology provides a systematic step-by-step explanation of virtually all processes that integrate
relevant raw materials into finished nonwovens for different end uses.
In comprehensive terms, Introduction to Nonwovens Technology explains the connection between
the structure of nonwovens and the specialized, still-evolving technologies used to produce them—f
rom simple roll goods to nanoscale webs and fiberwebs. The text also offers reviews of basic
chemistry, polymer physics and heat transfer concepts, which are linked to processing and design
information; and can be used by both professionals working in or new to the nonwovens industry, as
well as students and instructors.
From the Foreword by John Hearle: "... the book summarizes existing technical knowledge and
suggests ways of going beyond it."
